I played HL1, opposing force and blue shift about 10 years after their release. I had played other FPS games like doom, duke nukem 3d and quake before them, but I found the valve ones quite entertaining. The story for me was really hard to understand the first time I passed it. Even after the second time, I didn't get the whole picture. Later, I went to read the wikia sites... even if they're over-analysed and maybe exaggerating, I found them quite interesting, honestly. Probably deeper than one might think. And like they said in a reply, the little details in those games are important, since the story is told in a different way than other games.
I tried to play HL2 in the same computer, but it ran really slow and sloppy because of the specs.
Later, I got a better specs computer, I got to play HL2 well finally, along with the episodes. I found their stories and details really nice, too. The graphics and its engine are, in my opinion, a huge step forward Valve did for PC games back then. The community exaggerates a lot, but many other big videogame communities also do, by what I have experienced. Part of their sense of humor, I guess.
Its modding engine must be really good for there to be so many mods and quite a few quality mods.
Anyway, by what I read in the wikias, the HL2 episodes were more of a... "showcase" (?) for Valve to let other companies see what new features their Source engine had compared to others.
About two years after that, I got to buy them on steam.
Portal 2... in my opinion, it's another story. Quite a remarkable masterpiece of art, almost made me cry when I understood the story.
Waddya guys say? Am I right, wrong or deserve to be executed for not liking "the best game of all time"?
No, I don't think you're wrong.
